Is there a way to change the water temperature display to Fahrenheit? Literally no one around here uses Celsius for water temperature…
We don’t have native support for changing it yet, but you can do it with the following:
- Go to Menu>Tools>Data-lake
- Click to “add a compound variable”
- Choose a name (e.g.: “Temperature (Fahrenheit)”)
- Type the following formula there:
({{SCALED_PRESSURE2/temperature}}/ 100) * 1.8 + 32 - Save it
- Add a “Very Generic Indicator” in the edit-menu
- Go to the “custom” tab, look for the variable you just created in the search input, put
1in the Multiplier field and°Fin the Unit field.
It should look like this:

Can you share where you were able to add an icon (Very Generic Indicator)?
Also, is it possible to round the temperature to zero or 1 decimal places?
OK, like daveycleaning, I experimented enough to answer my own questions. For others, You don’t add the icon in the same area that you created the compound variable. Instead, after saving the compound variable:
-
Go to Settings
-
Select ‘Edit Interface’
-
I wanted it in the bottom area so in the lower left I selected “Widget Type: Mini”
-
scroll to the right of all the widgets and drag “Very Generic Indicator’“ to where you want it
-
Change the view from ‘Preset’ to ‘Custom’. Here you can name the widget, change the Variable to the name of the ‘Compound Variable’ you created. Use the filter feature to make it easier. You can add an icon and specify the decimal precision you want. To create the degree symbol I simple search the internet on how to do it with they keyboard, based on the operating system you are using.
-
Close the widget with the X in the upper right. You can later edit it by right clicking on it and clicking the gear icon.
